I'd be more worried about smith in nicky's role, butt (hohoho see what i did there) its most likely bollocks anyway I can see Faye being put there. Edgar Cacapa Faye Enrique at the back That is if the injuries are true. Cacapa's injured, and I assume you mean Taylor rather than Faye twice? I think personally we could get away with having Carr as our weak link, but not Smith.

Fuck does that mean Carr at right back and Smith as DM?

Bentley has publicly criticised our endless instability, and being the strong minded person he is, I doubt he'd want to come on those perceptions. Where he got those perceptions from is another story.

Semi Final results: Celestine Babayaro - 22 (15.6%) Jean Alain Boumsong - 26 (18.4%) Amdy Faye - 31 (22%) Matthew Pattison - 41 (29.1%) Alan Smith - 21 (14.9%)

I remember people taking the piss out of Andy Reid, and him going on to score against us and beat us, so lets hope he doesn't bite us on our arses again.

Semi final now commences. Top two will make the final.

Here ends round 3. Shola Ameobi - 9 (2.4%) Celestine Babayaro - 34 (9.2%) Jean Alain Boumsong - 52 (14.1%) Titus Bramble - 28 (7.6%) Stephen Carr - 27 (7.3%) Amdy Faye - 64 (17.3%) Albert Luque - 26 (7%) Matthew Pattison - 62 (16.8%) Peter Ramage - 27 (7.3%) Alan Smith - 41 (11.1%)

Semi Finals will commence once I return from my bike ride.

In the end of the day, most of these addicts have had or will have children, so it is good for the children that Newcastle are helping with their rehab.

My definition of regular is 15+ games

Round three ding ding ding. You get two votes. Top 5 go to semi final.

Round 2 is over. Tally is: Shola Ameobi - 20 (2.9%) Celestine Babayaro - 72 (10.5%) Jean Alain Boumsong - 109 (15.9%) Titus Bramble - 63 (9.2%) Stephen Caldwell - 13 (1.9%) Stephen Carr - 45 (6.6%) Robbie Elliott - 7 (1%) Amdy Faye - 78 (11.4%) Andy Griffin - 2 (0.3%) Aaron Hughes - 1 (0.1%) Paul Huntington - 8 (1.2%) Albert Luque - 55 (8%) Craig Moore - 3 (0.4%) Andy O'Brien - 8 (1.2%) Matthew Pattison - 84 (12.3%) Peter Ramage - 36 (5.3%) Laurent Robert - 5 (0.7%) David Rozehnal - 3 (0.4%) Alan Shearer - 8 (1.2%) Alan Smith - 46 (6.7%) Gary Speed - 2 (0.3%) Hugo Viana - 12 (1.8%) Jonathan Woodgate - 5 (0.7%) Total voters: 256

Gianfranco Zola says he was offerred a position at Newcastle, but not from Wise. Was he one of the three name shortlist that was given to Keegan before he agreed to sign?

Got about £250,000 now which is excellent given the target date for £500,000 is March 2010.

Round 3 shall be starting in 10 mins or so.

You could argue though that it is none of Allardyce's signings that eventually rescued us from relegation, and that it took the removal of Allardyce's 'star signing' from the first XI to start getting results. In fact, Allardyce sold the two players that kept us away from the relegation scrap the season before. Souness failed, no doubt about it, but at least he had a couple of valid excuses, and at least there were a few interspersed positive moments. Did he fuck. And I voted for Souness, because he destroyed us. Solano and Dyer? Oba and Milner kept us away from the relegation scrap far more than either of those two did. Solano played predominantly as a right back, and Dyer predominantly didn't play. I think you'll find if you look that when Dyer did play, he got the goals and key contributions and we got the results that inevitably kept us away from relegation.

Round 2 coming up.......

50 votes = ~ 10 people man. 50 votes of five. No way were there 250 votes on there. Just admit it, you fucked up Yes, there were only 223 votes

50 votes = ~ 10 people man. 50 votes of five.

Top 10 will go to Round 3 tomorrow. Sorry to those who felt I closed down the voting for R1 early, but I just couldn't see much changing for the low scorers after 50 votes had been cast.

McClen is off the list btw because I realised he didn't match the qualification criteria.
